This FAQ is designed for a fast answer first. Use the related guide links if you need the fuller decision path behind the short version.
Start with service volume and how you work the back bar, then choose a BC-series size that matches the job:
Small bar, café bar, or tight back-bar run: a single-door unit (for core SKUs and fast access).
Medium-volume pubs and restaurants: a two-door under-counter/back-bar cooler is usually the sweet spot for day-to-day turnover.
High-volume or multi-station bars: consider three-door capacity or multiple units split by station (for speed of service and better stock rotation).
Practical sizing checks:
Plan for peak service, not quiet periods. If you regularly restock mid-service, you likely need the next size up.
Leave room for kegs/beer lines/other under-counter equipment so you do not end up with a cooler that cannot be placed where staff need it.
If you are choosing between sizes, upsizing often costs less than the labour impact of constant restocking.
In the Unifrost range, common under-counter/back-bar options include BC10, BC20, and BC30 families (e.g., BC10HBE/BC10HBEOG, BC20/BC20OG, BC20HBE/BC20HBEOG, BC20HSE/BC20HSEOG, BC20SBE, BC30HBE).
